Ancestral Roots

Knowing my ancestral roots changed my life
Where they came from and their names and their way of living
I come from a line of hard workers and intelligent people
I believe I can live to the family name
Even though they were not famous I know 
They are still my ancestors and so
My ancestors is where I came from and they are important part of my history
That without them I wouldn't be where I am today
My ancestors may be from long time ago
That indeed they are a part of me
